Your Wired for Negative Bias

I am lucky enough to have worked for over 8 years in a space that has helped me begin with positive intent with any approach that I attempt. It's not easy.

Actions Reflecting Our Values

It's difficult as a leader or just someone who likes to mix in a lot within social circles to be ones self. Never the less, our actions do to tell a story to people who see us in action or hear us.

The video itself is about 3:54 … Continue reading Empathy and Sympathy Not the Same →

As I've been writing all month about resiliency and all the great things about this great habit that works to make you that way, I began to study the other side. Is it possible that resilience has an ugly side? I assumed it can be like any habit that if over used can be as … Continue reading The Ugly Side of Resilience →

GTTW: Home

"All roads lead to home, we just arrive at different times." - B.o.B. We alway have home to look forward to. Even those that might not have a home, find a way to create one. Home isn't always a physical base at the end of our work to move through challenge, it's a mental one … Continue reading GTTW: Home →
